S1/2 ICT – Week 8 Work

Welcome to our new Computational Thinking unit!
There are plenty of new videos to make sure you’re on the right track.
This week you should:
  1. Watch the theory video for “Introduction To Programming”. This is in the Files tab in the General Channel, then in our new Computational Theory folder.
  2. Complete the practical lesson “1. Dance Party” at https://studio.code.org/s/express-2020 . There is also a video in the Computational Theory folder to help you do this. Make sure you have proof that you have finished (this can be a screenshot, photo from a phone or sharing link)!
  3. Complete the worksheet below “8. IntroductionToProgramming.pdf”.
  4. Submit the proof of your code.org task and the worksheet for this Assignment.
Please let your class teacher know as soon as you have any questions, they will be able to help you.
Remember also that we have our weekly drop-in, where you can get help too.

New S1/2 Unit – Computational Thinking

From Monday the 1st of March, S1 and S2 pupils will be starting a new unit in ICT – Computational Thinking. This unit is designed to be an introduction to the basic theory behind computer programming.
The unit will use a mix of both written and practical exercises to familiarise pupils with basic concepts of computational thinking and programming. Pupils will learn how to write basic pseudocode, to allow them to design programs and solve problems using logical steps. Pupils will also touch on programming constructs such as loops and conditional statements to allow them to do this more efficiently.
